Jihoon hasn't slept well in years. Not since he survived the accident that killed the woman he loved. Yingyue never leaves her house. Not since her parents died in a car crash two years ago. Both crippled by their own fears, the two of them should never work out. After all, two wrongs don't make a right. Yet somehow, perhaps each recognizing they are kindred spirits bound by the things that haunt them, they are drawn to each other like the moon pulls the ocean tide. Can their blossoming romance help them break through the confines of their fears or will it pull them further down under like a leaf trapped under the surface of a frozen lake? --- Update schedule: Once a month.

Clau is a dragon, his landlady is a witch, he has a mage girlfriend and his roommate is undecided... for now. He is unemployed and that may have something to do with why he lost his marbles. Although his girlfriend being gone had more to do with that. He is not broke but refuses to sell his scales on Ichor so his roommate pays the rent (because she's the one who cleans up his shedding every few days in the month and sells them) for him. His roommate is definitely too young to be hacking and likes to bring in things that may endanger his life every so often. He is in trouble Once in a land filled with nothing but the past, a door opened. And the creature behind it-bless its dim soul, Came inside and brought in a future in a box that the people opened. And in return for that, the creature was swallowed whole. The future was praised and built on the bones that lay raw, On the floors made of silver and gold. The world swirled with the many colours that people viewed and saw. From the creature's whose submission made the people drunk in power, bold. Of course this stopped, for the people had always believed in what was right. They gave freedom and they gave light. They look away sadness, they took away fright. They said that we, were such...a sight. But only after eating us whole did they spit us out. Only after destroying us did they fix us. Only after death of thirst was there no more drought. And only after they nearly killed us all, was there an us. By Tars Anderson, 8 years old Student Analysis Tars Anderson Female 8 years old. .
